FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know — answered honestly.

What is the difference between staircase renovation and full staircase installation?

Staircase renovation involves sanding, staining and refinishing your existing solid wood stairs — a great option when the structure is sound but the finish is worn or outdated. Full staircase installation replaces everything: treads, risers, spindles and newel posts with brand-new materials. We advise the best option for your staircase during the free in-home assessment.

How much does staircase remodeling cost in Toronto?

Staircase renovation typically costs $1,500–$3,500 for a standard straight staircase. Full installation with new hardwood treads, risers, spindles and newel posts typically costs $3,000–$6,000 depending on the number of stairs, materials chosen and complexity. We provide a detailed written quote after a free in-home assessment.

How long does a staircase remodel take in Toronto?

Staircase renovation typically takes 2–3 days including drying/curing time. Full staircase installation typically takes 3–5 days. We provide a specific timeline during your free estimate.

What wood species do you use for stair treads?

We install a wide range of hardwood species including white oak, red oak, maple, walnut and hickory for stair treads. Oak is the most popular choice in Toronto for its durability and timeless look. We bring samples to your home during the free consultation.

Can you match my stair treads to my existing hardwood floors?

Yes — matching stair treads to your existing floors is one of the most common requests we receive across Toronto and the GTA. We assess your current floor stain and finish during the in-home visit and work to achieve the closest possible match.

Do you fix squeaky stairs during remodeling?

Absolutely — addressing squeaks and loose components is a standard part of our staircase remodeling process. We tighten every step, secure any loose treads and repair structural issues before new materials are installed.

Can carpet be added to hardwood stairs after remodeling?

Yes — a stair runner can be added to newly installed hardwood stairs at any time. Many Toronto homeowners combine hardwood stair installation with a custom runner installation for the perfect blend of elegance and warmth.

Do you install spindles and newel posts?

Yes — our full staircase installation service includes new spindles (balusters) and newel posts in a range of styles from traditional to contemporary. We bring style options to your home during the consultation.

Is my existing staircase strong enough for renovation?

Most residential staircases in Toronto are structurally sound enough for renovation. We assess the structure during the free in-home visit and advise honestly — if we find any structural concerns, we'll explain the options before any work begins.

Can you remodel curved or L-shaped staircases?

Yes — we have experience remodeling straight, L-shaped, curved and split-level staircases across Toronto and the GTA. Our team assesses the configuration during the free visit and advises the best approach.

How do I maintain new hardwood stair treads?

Sweep or vacuum regularly, wipe up spills immediately, use felt pads on furniture legs and avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. A stair runner on high-traffic steps also helps protect the hardwood surface significantly.

What areas of Toronto do you cover for staircase remodeling?

We cover all of Toronto, York, North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Woodbridge, Mississauga, Markham, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Leslieville, The Beaches, Forest Hill, Leaside, Roncesvalles and the surrounding GTA.
